**THE GREEK BIBLE — HOW THE SEPTUAGINT CREATED A NEW RELIGION**
*What they called a translation... was actually a takeover.*
---
### IT WASN’T A TRANSLATION — IT WAS A TAKEOVER
The Septuagint (Greek Old Testament) is often described as a faithful translation of Hebrew scriptures into Greek. That’s false. It wasn’t made for Hebrew covenant-keepers. It was commissioned by empire to **control**, **rewrite**, and **absorb** Hebrew truth into Greek philosophical religion.
This began around 250 BC in **Alexandria, Egypt**, under **Ptolemy II Philadelphus**, a Greek ruler who ordered the translation of all known religious writings for his royal library. This was not done to honor Yhwh—it was done to **unify religions under Greek imperial rule**.
The Torah was treated not as covenant, but as material to be manipulated—just like they had done with Egyptian, Babylonian, and Persian belief systems. The Greek empire specialized in **blending religions** for the sake of power.

### WHY DID THE GREEKS COLLECT RELIGIONS?
Because that’s how empires control nations.
Greek religion taught that all gods existed, but their gods were supreme. So they renamed other gods, redefined foreign laws, and merged everything into one empire-wide belief system.
To the Greeks, Torah was not sacred. It was a document to be **reinterpreted**, **domesticated**, and **aligned with Plato, Homer, and Aristotle**. When Hebrew scriptures arrived in Alexandria, they weren’t entrusted to Levites—but to **Hellenized scribes** who had already compromised.
They did not protect the sacred Name of Yhwh.
They **erased it**.

### THE NAME ERASED — OVER 6,800 TIMES
In every original Hebrew scroll—Paleo-Hebrew, Aramaic, and early Square Script—the Name **Yhwh** appears more than **6,800 times**. It is the personal Name of the Creator, never to be forgotten or replaced.
But in the Septuagint?
His Name is **completely removed**. Replaced by the Greek word **Kyrios (κύριος)** — a generic title meaning “lord,” used for **Zeus**, **Apollo**, and even **emperors**.
This wasn’t an oversight. It was **intentional**.
What kind of "translation" removes the Name of the One you claim to serve?

### BUILT FOR GREEK POWER — NOT HEBREW TRUTH
The Septuagint began with the Torah but gradually added more writings over the next century. Each book was filtered through a Greek worldview—not a Hebrew covenant lens. Here’s what changed:
* **Functional Hebrew words were redefined**
* *Tov* (functional) became moral “good”
* *Ra* (broken, dysfunctional) became metaphysical “evil”
* **Sheol**, the neutral grave, became **Hades** — the underworld.
* **Ruach (breath/spirit)** became **Pneuma**, a mystical energy from Greek thought.
* **Names were altered** to suit Greek language:
* Moshe → *Mōusēs*
* Eliyahu → *Elias*
* Yeshayahu → *Esaias*
These are not translations. They are **transformations**.

### THE FOUNDATION OF A NEW RELIGION
By the time of Constantine, Hebrew truth had been rejected by Rome. The Septuagint, with its **Greek language**, **Greek categories**, and **erased Name**, became the Old Testament of the imperial church.
* **325 AD — Council of Nicaea**: Greek texts, not Hebrew, were the base
* **397 AD — Canon formation**: The Septuagint set the standard for the "Old Testament"
The result?
* “Lord” replaced Yhwh
* Obedience was replaced by “grace”
* Sabbath was moved to Sunday
* Hebrew prophecy was twisted into a virgin-birth myth
* The soul was redefined as immortal and judged in heaven or hell
None of this came from the Hebrew scriptures.

### RETURN TO THE TRUE SCRIPTURES
If you seek truth, go back to the source:
1. **Paleo-Hebrew Bible**
The earliest form — no vowels, no Greek ideas, preserved by the prophets.
2. **Aramaic Scriptures**
Daniel, Ezra, and other exile-era writings — still centered on Yhwh.
3. **Early Square Script (Ketav Ashuri)**
Post-exile Hebrew, written in a new script but preserving the original words before vowels and later rabbinic edits.
Everything else is a blend. A distortion. A deception.

### FINAL WORD
The Septuagint was **not** Yhwh’s Word in another language. It was **His Word rewritten** by empire.
It:
* **Erased His Name**
* **Replaced His meanings**
* **Distorted His commands**
* **Prepared the way for a false, Greek-based religion**
If you want the truth—**go back to the Hebrew.**
